THIS IS MY FAVOURITE VIDEO NOW AAAAA. THIS IS SO EMOTIONAL
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!!!!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I've definitely had an existential crisis when it comes to music, I'm still in it actually. It brought back my love of visual art and painting. Hopefully I can combine the two someday.😸💙
That would be incredible, you should! Music inspires so much artwork, I bet if you combined the two you'd make some awesome things :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Can’t recommend ANY HIGHER than this honest, fascinating video. We all need this much honesty to propel us along, thanks.
That's so nice, THANK YOU! We are so happy you're watching, your support means the world :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I feel so grateful that I discovered artprof two years ago. Thank you very much for being so authentic and honest with us Prof Lieu.
Thank you so much for being here!! Your support means the whole world to us :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I love this. Artist was the first thing I ever said I wanted to be, and art has followed me through life. Now here I am, 64, having had to unexpectedly retire last year, picking it back up. I only just found my artistic voice through the pain of chronic migraine after deciding to do a visual migraine journal (initially having no idea what that would look like), starting last summer. Just created page 82, and it has grown. Will be my first show! And hi from western Mass!
That is so wonderful!!! We are so happy you found us-- it seems you've been making phenomenal progress :D - Mia, Art Prof Staff
My grandpa was nice enough to let me use his paints and fancy markers as a kid to scribble and color. I had one highschool art teacher who was tired and mean because i didn't excel using ink and quills. Im grateful that my family is overall supportive, its my own mind that can be paralyzing
That's so true, sometimes you're your own worst critic. It's wonderful your grandpa supported you from a young age though! Having that type of encouragement is so important :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I love hearing about your art/life evolution! If I'm doing the math correctly, we must be about 15 years apart. I'm not the younger one. Talk about no internet...😉 My degree is in painting/arts admin from a small east coast liberal arts college. It's taken me many years to realize that the school was great but the art program at the time was horrible. Somehow the narrative in my head for so many years was that I just wasn't a 'real' artist, that the deficits were mine. So I worked in the business side of non-profit arts centers, raised kids, started a non-art family business with my partner and finally, 30+ years later, started making art again & launched a website/shop. My only regret, truly, is all my non-painting years - because I love making art. But here's my point now: what you are doing outside the parameters of old-school academia and the 'art world' is EPIC. No doubt you are affecting more art students than you can imagine, sharing your wisdom, encouragement, humor, common sense. Imagine how many of them you are saving from delaying art dreams for 30+ years? Thank you (and your fantastic team of teaching artists) for all of your hard work, resources and heart!
Hi Laura! Thanks so much for sharing your story with me, it's one of my fav parts of Art Prof is hearing about each person's unique experience. Keep going!! -Prof Lieu
Super grateful to have discovered this channel. ✌🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for being here, welcome to the Art Prof family!! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Thanks for your decision to offer your gifts and your openness and honesty in sharing your story!
Thanks so much for listening! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Really enjoyed your report. I guess we are in the same age. I decided to study graphic-design, because studying art in Germany was so strange, exclusive and all around define yourself as an extraordinary freak. I wanted to learn more skills and from nature - and still want this. Today I love doing my art mixed with graphic design as freelance illustrator. My earliest art influence was cubism and it's also still included in my art style. But the main process for me is still learning.
Learning from nature is so important, you should totally experiment with that! If you'd like to watch a video where Prof Lieu draws in nature, you might enjoy this one: ua-cam.com/video/QSj5YQZ64i0/v-deo.html Feel free to check it out! Thank you so much for watching! :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
It's inspiring to hear your story! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
This is so relatable and inspiring, I rewatch it every time I have an existential crisis.
I have those pretty often! 😆 -Prof Lieu
I like your video a lot .......glade to find you here on UA-cam. Love you professor Liu, from Cambodia .
Thanks! 😃 -Prof Lieu
1:05:15 It's like layers on digital drawing but old school. I love it.
I got the art genes from my father but my aunt has always supported me, buying art supplies things like that. I believe art prof is going to be huge and you are going to be teaching/speaking to many universities worldwide someday.
That's the dream!! Hopefully we'll get there one day :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Thank you so much for sharing your story❤ It's told with a voice too personal not to be taken seriously. Some parts really made me feel I wasn't alone and really uplifted me
We're so glad you feel that way!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I always had wonderful art teachers. I remember them all. It wasn’t until college that I had some really bad ones, LOL.
I teach both high school and at a small university now.
You're seriously the best art teacher
Love you!
Love YOU :') - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Coming back to watch this again. Very interesting. I can relate to the intensity of creating. Plus, I know I bave questions. (Was organizing my studio and this was playing in the background.) --KateColors
That's great! I hope your studio organization went well :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I also should say that I hated school, especially middle and high. If I hadn’t had art and encouraging teachers and family I don’t know what I would have done. Now that I teach high school (25 years) I get so sad some days because so many students and parents don’t care at all about art.
It can get so awful sometimes, because you might feel like no one appreciates what you're passionate about. There will always be an artistic student somewhere, though! That makes it all worth it :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
@@artprof yes they are who I hold in to!
Thank you for all your hard work. I have followed since you had your blog.
I loved to draw and paint as a kid, unfortunately it wasn’t supported by my family. It took me almost 40 years to rediscover my creativity and now I’m obsessed!
We are so glad you are getting back into it!! That is wonderful news, thank you so much for watching :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Thanks!
We appreciate you so much!!! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
You are a year of the dragon babe too? woot!🐉My bf was born the same year, my mom was 12 yrs bf that and me 12 yrs after, lol. Those hands you drew at 10-11 yrs old? Wow! So cool to hear about your life! I love the old videos and the new videos! I started watching the older videos first! ✌💙🎨
Yes! I’m a dragon baby too! Hahah yes we left a few old videos on the channel, quite entertaining to see how much we have changed over the years. -Prof Lieu
Oh my GAWD!! I totally remember those Ed Emberly books!!! I haven’t seen those in... *ahem* a couple years(we’re about the same age😜 )Thank you for that memory!!
My 5th grade teacher was the most supportive, positive influence in my youth, other than my parents (100%supportive of any thing creative!) Mr Howes was amazing, brilliant, and REAL!
My high school ceramics teacher was the otherAmazing influence in my adolescence. By the end of my sophomore year in high school I had absolute access to the ceramic slab, including firing the kiln by myself, and I took full of advantage of it! Mr. Emery turned me on to so many of the more abstract, unconventional masters. Without him I wouldn’t know half of What I do today! Those were my two major influences and people that definitely had an impact on the direction I went. My parents would be the other half and seriously, you couldn’t ask for a better support network! They were nothing but loving and encouraging and I’m truly blessed to have had them 🤘🖤🤘
Aah, encouraging teachers are the BEST! It's crazy how influential they are in a young artist's life, they can really make or break their will to create. Your support network sounds incredible, and Ed Emberly is a gift to the art world! Thank you so much for watching :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Awesome video❤💚🎨
Thanks!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Ed Emberly! Those thumb print books were hours and hours of fun! I learned a lot about how to take those doodles and carry them over to the drawing experiments I would do on computer paper. Ha
I agree!! I love books like that, they always made drawing so much fun :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Omg I loooove Frederick, the best child book ever
So true!!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
amazing drawings of your depression, so emotional!!!
I agree! They're so powerful - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Please adopt me, Prof Lieu😟😀
You are honorarily adopted into the Art Prof family :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff

Thanks!
Tysm for your support!! -Prof Lieu
